The dog days of summer are here! What better way to celebrate than at the Summer Dog Party at Dog Mountain in St. Johnsbury, Vermont! Hosted by the Stephen Huneck Gallery and the Friends of Dog Mountain, the tail wagging fun will be taking place this Saturday, August 5, 2023 from 12 Noon to 4:00 PM.  Don’t miss this canine event of the season with activities for your entire family, both with four legs and two!

There will be  live music, food trucks, dog contests, raffle, doggie agility course, and plenty of room to run, romp, swim, hike, and play! Admission is FREE for dogs and their humans, but donations are always welcome to help the volunteers maintain this dog paradise.

The grand prize is worth over $1,800 and includes an original woodcut print by Stephen Huneck, a two night stay at Lake Morey Resort, a Makin’ Maple gift set, and a gift certificate to the Stephen Huneck Gallery and Pack Pass!
